Every year for 10 years, Mae McLean has grown flowers and plants to sell at the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Auxiliary plant sale. This year, she is transplanting her hostas — a lily-like plant — into waiting flowerpots.
“I tell you, we sell them cheaper than at anywhere else,” McLean said.
The proceeds help the nonprofit raise money for its work with the hospital.
Ever since the hospital opened in 1983, the auxiliary has been at its side.
The auxiliary helps the hospital buy things on its wish list, including a resuscitation mannequin, wheelchairs, therapy equipment and emergency response buttons for low-income seniors in Snoqualmie Valley.
